The Main Three Reasons Slaves Master Use Iron Mask to cover Slave Mouth.

By

 

Mask slave.

This metal mask was used during slavery for 3 main reasons.


1) To prevent the slaves from eating fruits such as apples, pineapples, oranges, cashews, bananas, plantains and sugarcanes etc while harvesting them, yet they were made to work consistently in all the plantation farms.


2) To stop the slaves from chanting our African spiritual songs. Not only that those our spiritual and war songs affected the slave masters, it also motivated some slaves to rebel and fight back not minding losing their lives.


3) To stop slaves form teaching our African local dialects (languages) to their children...whereby destroyed our dialects, and forced them to learn foreign languages.


Last but not the least, to starve slaves as a punishment in the slave camps. The mask prevented them from eating or drinking. Sometimes the slave masters would forced an apple (a whole 🍎) into the mouths of slaves before they wore the metal mask on them with the padlocks so that they couldn't talk.

GROW ABOVE OFFENCES

 GROW ABOVE OFFENCES. Maintain relationships with people It is childish and immature to pick offence at every provocation or perceived wrong and then start keeping grudges as a result. Grow above it. Someone did not invite you for their celebration (s), you pick offence with them. Someone didn't wish you happy birthday, you pick offence with the person They didn't like your facebook post, you pick offence.  They didn't support you in a disagreement you had with someone, you pick offence with them. They are junior and they have the audacity to talk or oppose your opinion. You pick offence with them.  They said NO to your request, you pick offence and malice starts. You asked them for money, they said they didn't have it, you pick offence with them. You are even keeping a record of people who came around when you were grieved, so you can know who to pick offence with.   See!!!  Everyone has battles you are not aware of.  Those who you need help from are ...

MY OLD SCHOOL AND MY OLD DEBTS

By

1. We all must have passed through one  primary or secondary schools at a time in life. The assertion may not be true in other geopolitical zones, but it is very true in the South Western Nigeria. In the Southwest, a child must attain a level of education in a school, even if he/she will end up learning trade or skills; no matter how OLODO the child is. Although those we called OLODOs then are the leaders of the pack with cash, distribution of life is beyond mortal intelligent.  2. From the above it is established that anyone under the age 70 in the Southwest must have the tendency of belonging to either or both primary and secondary school associations. Either he or she chooses to attend their meeting is personal, still they belong to one old school. 3. If my ideas in paragraph 1&2 are valid, then the fact that you can be affiliated with a school has automatically made you a *Debtor.* Yes, *a debtor not by choice but by conscience. Not only by conscience, but by circumsta...

INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP, THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON',AWODELE HABEEB,A CONCERNED INDIGENE OF IFON WRITES ON THE ONGOING CRISIS BETWEEN IFON AND HER NEIGHBOURING TOWN.

 INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP: THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON. To all the indigenous sons and daughters of our beloved Ifọn, I will like to swiftly divert our attention to this particular opinion. After my scrupulous observations, I discovered that one of the major factors, which affected our Land (Ifon) during this time of war,is the lack of proper coordination among our so-called leaders. This opinion might look presumptuous or obnoxious to some people however, to say the fact, it is quite apparent, that the internal porousness,discriminations,disloyalty and more among our leaders, immensely contributed to our set-back in this situation. A lizard cannot penetrate, unless there is a crack on the wall.  This matter on ground,is not all about shouting the Ilobu only, we also need some corrections in our internal structure! Before, Ifon used to be a strong town, that no neighboring town can easily penetrate during time of w...

Full Text Of Prostrate Health.

I am here to speak with you on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40 years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above, father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbour, colleague. Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think ...

 A New Dawn for Osun State: Governor Ademola Adeleke's Transformative Leadership. The recent decision taken by Gov Ademola Adeleke in Osun State mark a significant departure from the past, signaling a promising era of progress and prosperity for its citizens. Gone are the days of empty promises and neglect, as Governor Adeleke has ushered in a new paradigm of governance characterized by tangible actions and genuine concern for the welfare of the people. Under the previous administration of APC, Osun State grappled with numerous challenges, including the dismal state of its civil service. Civil servants endured the frustration of paper promotion letters without the necessary financial backing, a practice emblematic of the neglect and disregard they faced. The era of half salaries, understaffing, and poor workers' welfare cast a shadow over the state, leaving its workforce demoralized and disenchanted. However, Governor Adeleke's commitment to revitalizing Osun State has brou...

The father of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad has spoken about the death of his son. In a video interview that went viral on Saturday, Joseph Aloba narrated, "I think the injection led to his death. I don't know the people that took him the hospital, but according to what I heard, he was vomiting after recieving the injection and that was when they decided to take him to the hospital.  "I did not hear anything from the doctor because I was not there. They had returned him home when I met his body. So, I decided that they should  bring him to Ikorodu for his burial. My believe is that it's God that gives and it's God that takes. "When he and Naira had issue, I can defend that my son was properly okay because that very day, I entered his house, prayed for him and he told me that he wants to go somewhere. "On his way coming, one of his friends just came home and said that. He gave me the evidence that he was beaten up i...
